After all the fuss about the timing of the Venus Transit, it was cloudy here and we couldn’t watch it anyway. Hmph. So we watched 3 episodes of Alias, instead, which is hardly the same thing at all, but which was fun. :) The amazingly horrible bruise on my knuckle is healing very quickly. It’s kind of cool to watch, because it’s changing colors from hour to hour. And today is *drumroll please* SHAUNDAY! Happy birthday, Shaun! in a while here, I’ll go get a Shaunday cake started. Yum! I’ve…

So if…
So if the Venus transit is supposed to be visible from 05:13 to 05:33 Universal Time in Anchorage, am I correct in reading that as “subtract 9 hours to get the usual Universal time, then one more because we’re in Daylight Savings,” so the transit, if visible, should be visible from approximately 7:15 to 7:30 this evening (June 7th) my time?

With that much dramatic bruising, I really feel as if I should be able to remember *what* I hit myself on!
hate hate hate!
Hate hate hate! We hate the bugbites! Hate hate hate! Itch itch itch! I’ve gotten more bites in less time this year…
gah :(
Wow, I feel completely horrible. Coughing and wheezing and my ears and throat itch and this sucks. :P Stupid, stupid allergies. :( I took drugs but they haven’t kicked in yet and I’m going insane with the itching and coughing. Blah. :( Maybe the astringentness of an orange would help some. Wah. :( I spent most of yesterday working on THUNDERBIRD FALLS, which would have been slightly easier if I had not failed to put in chapters 13 and 25 to my rough draft printout. I only have another few…
